==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country''====
[[File:Kritter DKC.png|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country'', depicting the first design of a Kritter]]
Kritters appear in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They are colored green and move left or right only. The brown, blue, and yellow, and gray varieties all jump, particularly without moving, going in a single direction, in a set motion, and performing a few hops before a high jump, respectively. Kritters are defeated from either being [[stomp]]ed, rolled into, being hit by a [[barrel]], or from a [[Hand Slap]]. Kritters are purple in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], but are depicted with their stock artwork for their [[photograph]].
In pre-production, Kritters were intended to be small enemies; their role in the final was seemingly combined with the unused "Klanger," simply described as a "Green Kremling."<ref>{{file link|DKC general naming.jpg|Early DKC general naming sheet}}</ref>
Kritters are very common. In the original version, Kritters appear in the following levels, in the following colors:

Kritters are antagonists in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]]. They are voiced by Lawrence Bayne. Kritters have their design from ''Donkey Kong Country'', but their eyes are not connected and their tails are shorter. Many Kritters carry [[Klap-Blaster]]s, which shoot miniature [[Klaptraps]]. [[Green Kroc]], a minion of [[Kaptain Skurvy]], is a Kritter.
=== ''Diddy Kong Racing'' / ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'' ===
A Kritter named [[Krunch]] appears in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' as the game's heavyweight racer, being the first time any Kritter is playable. A regular Kritter appears in the intro of the [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|remake]], spying on the [[Kong]]s with Krunch.
===''Donkey Kong 64''===
[[File:Kritter - Donkey Kong 64.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
Kritters are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They are encountered at [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]], all worlds barring [[Fungi Forest]] and [[Creepy Castle]], most [[Battle Arena Pad|Battle Arenas]] except for [[Jungle Japes]]'s and Creepy Castle's, the minigames [[Kremling Kosh!]], [[Mad Maze Maul!]], [[Stash Snatch!]], and [[Busy Barrel Barrage!]]. There is a red variety encountered in [[Frantic Factory]], where they belch in a certain order for [[Lanky Kong|Lanky]] to memorize and replicate for a [[Golden Banana]]s, and the minigame Kremling Kosh!, worth two points instead of one like the regular type.
Kritters are in the [[boxing arena]] but cannot be fought. They wear tuxedos. Two are announcers and ring the bell to start the match between the Kongs and [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]]. Some Kritters latter try to remove a light fixture stuck to K. Rool. In each countdown, Kritters always ring the bell when it counts up to 8, by pressing a red button on either side of the bell. Both Kritters slam a button at the same time, breaking it accidentally, after [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]]'s round concludes.
===''Mario Power Tennis''===
{{multiframe|[[File:GreenKritterTennis.png|100px]] [[File:BlueKritterTennis.png|95px]] [[File:RedKritterTennis.png|100px]]|align=left|size=310|In-game model from ''Mario Power Tennis'' depicting a green, a blue, and a red Kritter}}

===''Mario Strikers'' series===
[[File:MSC Kritter Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Mario Strikers Charged'', showing a Kritter about to block an incoming Mega Strike]]
Kritters are goalies in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. They were replaced by [[Boom Boom]]s in ''[[Mario Strikers: Battle League]]''. Kritters wear a goalie outfit to reflect this. Kritters are unaffected by attacks except the strongest type, and they knock back player characters on contact. Kritters in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' can deflect any [[Super Strike]]s that are not timed properly, and a Kritter with the ball can pass it; the game adds a [[Robo-Kritter|robotic Kritter]] as the goalie of the [[Super Team]]. A Kritter is first seen in ''Mario Strikers Charged'' during the opening scene, blocking a [[Toad (species)|Toad]]'s [[Fire Meteor]], consequently putting its hands on fire. As shown from the opening movie, Kritters are invulnerable to [[Skillshot]]s, as well as all [[Super Ability|Super Abilities]] except [[Crystal Smash!]], [[Fire Storm!]], and [[Thunder Wham!]] (if it has the ball). Kritters in ''Mario Strikers Charged'' can kick away players if they either fail a Skillshot or kick too close to the goal. A Kritter can be controlled by the player to block [[Mega Strike]]s.
{{br}}
===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
A Kritter is a playable character in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. Kritter's stats include balanced top speed, boost and agility, shared with his direct rival, Donkey Kong. Kritter's bongos are gray with a skull printed on the sides and spiked bands on the top and bottom. Kritter attacks other racers by swinging his tail around. If Kritter gets in 3rd or 2nd place after completing a cup, he sits and looks down, disappointed. If he places 1st, he sits down and laughs. Kritter can be seen in the Single Race cutscene along with [[Klump]], [[Kalypso]] and [[Kass]], standing in front of their respective rivals, Donkey Kong, [[Lanky Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. In the Jungle Grand Prix cutscene, Kritter is seen catching up to Donkey Kong during a race, before both of them get surprised when [[Diddy Kong]] passes them.
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Kritter}}
[[File:Kritter 3DS.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'']]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Kritters are only represented as [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] and two [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|stickers]] in the former game. The first sticker, featuring artwork from ''DK: King of Swing'', boosts launch resistance by 13, while the second sticker, featuring artwork from ''Mario Strikers Charged'', boosts the power of direct special moves by 28. Both stickers can be used by any character.
Green and blue Kritters appear as enemies in the Smash Run mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. Green ones bite three times in a row, while blue ones spin around furiously with their claws.


'''Kritter''' is a type of extemely muscular and buff [[Kremling]] whit enormous mucles,immense pecs and extremely muscular and veined armes and legs.Kritter is found in almost all games in the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' series]]. Kritter is the most common of Kremlings and is the foot soldiers of the [[Kremling Krew]], a role similar to that of the [[Koopa Troopas]] from the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. Kritter is extemely muscular but the normal green kritter is the most stronger and oter Kritter's come in a variety of colours.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Kritter from ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' appears as a Novice-class Grab-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}} with one support slot. When used on a fighter, the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] boosts only their power without granting any special effect. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit is found on the [[smashwiki:DK Island (World of Light)|DK Island]] sub-map of the Light Realm, occupying the spot where [[Ropey Rampage]] is located in ''Donkey Kong Country''. The spirit's puppet fighter is [[King K. Rool]], fought on the [[Kongo Jungle]] stage.


==History==
===''Mario Super Sluggers''===
===''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Kong Land'' series===
Kritters are playable characters in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Green Kritter is the default color, with blue, red, and brown varieties appearing as [[Palette swap|alternate colors]]. All four Kritter colors are Power characters with batting and fielding at above average and running below average. The blue Kritter has a weaker batting stat to improve its pitching, and vice versa for red Kritter. The brown Kritter is the fastest of the four Kritter colors, but like the red Kritter, its pitching is weaker than the default green Kritter's. Every Kritter bats with their left hand and fields with their right hand. The sweetspot is the spike on the center of the mace. Their signature ability, [[Keeper Catch]], grants them more reach while fielding. When they bat, they use a short, but broad spiked mace. They have good chemistry with [[King K. Rool]], but incompatible chemistry with any of the [[Kong]]s, even though they are members of the [[DK Kongs|DK Wilds]].
====''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''====
Kritters first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' where, along with [[Gnawty]]s and [[Zinger]]s they were the most common enemies. Regular green Kritters (oddly recolored purple in the GameBoy Advance remake of the game) would attack by simply walking into the Kongs, whereas other colors can jump at the Kongs.


====''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''====
The Kritters, Wario, and Waluigi are tied with having the lowest amount of good chemistry in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', with them having good chemistry with only Miis of their color and one other character (with that character in their case being King K. Rool).
Kritters also appeared in ''Donkey Kong Country's'' pseudo-sequel for the GameBoy, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. In this game all Kritters were the same color due to the GameBoy's color limitations.


====''Donkey Kong Country'' / ''Land 2''====
===Unused appearances===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Kritters were replaced with [[Klomp]]s, Kremlings that wear tattered red and white shorts and have a peg leg. Also another Kremling called [[Kaboing]], whom had ''two'' peg legs replaced ''Donkey Kong Country's'' jumping Kritters. It has been surmised by some that Kaboings and Klomps are Kritters in pirate clothing, which is a safe assumption as Kritters have a large resemblance to these two enemies.
====''Diddy Kong Pilot''====
[[File:Krunch Model - Diddy Kong Pilot 2001.png|thumb|Krunch model from the cancelled ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' (2001)]]
Two different canceled games named ''Diddy Kong Pilot'', [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|one from 2001]] and [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|one from 2003]], would have included a Kritter with a leather jacket as a playable character. Although this character is simply called "Kritter" in the 2003 build, the model bears a strong resemblance to [[Krunch]] from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''; in the 2001 build, the internal name for the character when highlighted on the selection screen is Krunch's early name "[[Krash]]",<ref>{{cite|author=Mattrizzle|date=January 16, 2013|url=www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1329#p32980|title=Diddy Kong Pilot: 2001 Alpha has been Released!!!|publisher=DKC Atlas|accessdate=June 2, 2024}}</ref> while the {{file link|DKP 2001 Hud.png|internal HUD}} uses the name "Krunch". Kritter has a {{wp|Southern American English}} accent in the 2003 iteration. When it became ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]'', Kritter was replaced with [[jiggywikki:Jolly Roger|Jolly Roger]], with the two characters sharing similar stats.
{{br}}


====''Donkey Kong Country'' / ''Land 3''====
==General information==
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]'', Kritters are once again replaced, this time by a type of Kremling called [[Kobble]]s who were surprisingly rare in the former game while extremely common in the latter. Jumping Kritters are also replaced with enemies called [[Re-Koil]]s, who were orange and bounced on their tails.
===Physical appearance===
Kritters are most commonly colored green while still having several color varieties. Kritters originally had gold shoulder pads, knee pads and a bluish-green skin tone, though various other color variations appeared too, such as purple and burgundy. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', they have a bright green skin tone and are slightly less muscular. Kritters wear a sleeveless leather jacket with a skull-and-crossbones on the back (similar to [[Krunch]] from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'') and a belt with a skull-and-crossbones buckle. This appearance is reused in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and is similar to their ''Super Mario Strikers'' appearance.


In the GameBoy Advance remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Kritters appear as enemies in [[Funky Kong]]'s mini-games. Here the kongs will have to avoid attacking Kritters while doing a task (such as moving explosive mines), thought sometimes the Kongs will have to race and/or battle Kritters.
Starting with ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', Kritters received another redesign. They are significantly more muscular, especially in their chest and arms, and have a rounder snout and head. Their redesign also includes tattered tan pants and spiked wristbands. They still retain their skull belt from ''Donkey Kong 64''.


===[[Club Nintendo]]===
==Profiles and statistics==
A blue Kritter attacked Diddy and Donkey Kong in a cave in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]". He gets scared by Donkey's huge shadow, projected onto the wall by [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks']] torch. Donkey ultimately defeats him by throwing a Barrel at him. Like every character in the comic, the Kritter was able to speak.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]] Kritters (voiced by Lawrence Bayne) occasionally appeared, here they had the same appearance as the ones in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' game, but with shorter tails and unconnected eyes. [[Green Kroc]], a minion of [[Kaptain Skurvy]] was also a Kritter but, was oddly grayish in color (similar to the color of [[Kaboing]]s).
*'''Nintendo Player's Guide''': ''Kritters come in several colors, but other than that, they basically look the same. You can take them out easily by jumping on their heads or rolling through them and bowling them over. Depending upon their color, they have different jumping abilities and patterns of movement. That's what makes them a little unpredictable. Another member of Kritter family, Krash, is the type that likes to hide out in mine carts.''<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en|date=1994|page=12}}</ref>
*'''GBA Nintendo Player's Guide''': ''Kritters are the weakest of King K. Rool's Krocs-one jump on the head from Donkey or Diddy will do them in. Kritters come in a few different colors which relate to how the Kritters move and jump. Green Kritters, for example, walk in a straight line and don't jump, but blue Kritters hop along the ground in a straight line. Krashes are Kritters that hide out in mine carts and try to run Donkey and Diddy off the tracks in the mines.''<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Folsom, Jessica, and Steve Thomason|date=2003|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide|isbn=1-930206-33-X|page=14|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>


===''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''===
===''Donkey Kong 64''===
In ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', a single Kritter named [[Krunch]] appears. At first Krunch is sent to [[Timber's Island]] to investigate why [[Diddy Kong]] went there and too figure if he and his friends are plotting some sort of anti-[[Kremling]] campaign, but eventually Krunch ends up aiding Diddy and his pals in their adventure to defeat the evil [[Wizpig]]. Interestingly in ''Donkey Kong 64'' all Kritters encountered wear the exact same skull-and-crossbones jacket as Krunch.

As mentioned above, Kritters appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' as semi-common enemies. In this game all Kritters wear leather jackets with a skull-and-crossbones emblem on it. Here Kritters attack the Kongs by punching and biting also several unnamed variants of Kritters such as, a [[Mecha-Kritter|wind-up robotic Kritter]], [[Shroom Kritter|a Kritter in a mushroom costume]], and a [[Kritter-in-a-Sheet|Kritter using a bed-sheet to disguise itself as ghost]], appear in this game.

Kritters have recently begun to appear in the [[Mario]] spin-off sports games; in ''[[Mario Power Tennis (GCN)|Mario Power Tennis]]'' they appear in Donkey Kong's Court.

Originally, Kritter's trophy stated that its other appearance is ''Donkey Kong 64'', but this was removed from {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases.


===[[Mario Strikers (series)|''Mario Strikers'' series]]===
Kritter's goalie trophy says that they are the only goalies in ''Super Mario Strikers''. This is not true, as the Super Team uses a Robo-Kritter as their goalie in that game. In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', however, they are the only available goalkeepers.
In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', they are the game's goalies, the game also has a [[Robo-Kritter|robotic Kritter]] as the goalie of the [[Super Team]]. They reappear as goalies in the game's sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. In this game, though, the player can play as them to block Mega Strikes.

Kritters originally had gold shoulder pads and knee pads and a bluish-green skin tone, though various other colour variations appeared too, such as purple and burgundy. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', they had a bright green skin tone and wore leather clothing and a belt with a skull-and-crossbones belt buckle on it.

Kritter, Mario Super Sluggers

Kritters, also named Kremlings,[1] are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country. These Kremlings act as the main footsoldiers of the Kremling Krew, led by King K. Rool, and sometimes are representatives of the Kremlings in general. Some walk on the ground while others bounce around. Kritters in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2 have the alias of Klomps,[2] which have peg legs, as well as Kaboings, which move on two peg legs, replacing the bouncing variety. Kritters are replaced in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III with Kobbles, and the jumping variety with Re-Koils.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

Donkey Kong Country[edit]

Kritter in Donkey Kong Country.
Artwork from Donkey Kong Country, depicting the first design of a Kritter

Kritters appear in Donkey Kong Country. They are colored green and move left or right only. The brown, blue, and yellow, and gray varieties all jump, particularly without moving, going in a single direction, in a set motion, and performing a few hops before a high jump, respectively. Kritters are defeated from either being stomped, rolled into, being hit by a barrel, or from a Hand Slap. Kritters are purple in the Game Boy Advance remake, but are depicted with their stock artwork for their photograph.

In pre-production, Kritters were intended to be small enemies; their role in the final was seemingly combined with the unused "Klanger," simply described as a "Green Kremling."[3]

Kritters are very common. In the original version, Kritters appear in the following levels, in the following colors:

Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)[edit]

Main article: Kruiser

Kritters are enemies in the Funky's Rentals challenges in Donkey Kong Country 3. They ride around in black Motor Boats that fire projectiles.

Club Nintendo[edit]

A blue Kritter appears in the Club Nintendo comic "Donkey Kong Country." It is capable of speech, like the other enemies. The Kritter is attacked by Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong in a cave. The Kritter is scared by Donkey Kong's large shadow before a barrel defeats it.

Donkey Kong Country novel[edit]

A Kritter is an antagonist in the last chapter of the Donkey Kong Country novel. Its extra antagonistic nature put it amongst higher ranked members.[4] The Kritter is not affected by the mini-barrels thrown by Donkey Kong on Gangplank Galleon,[5] but crashes to the lowest deck when Donkey Kong slams the wood of the ship, breaking it.

Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle[edit]

A Kritter is an antagonist in Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle. He is seen in chapter five, leading a group of Kremlings. Following a threat to incarcerate every Kong, Kritter is distracted by Donkey Kong performing a maneuver that defeats some of the other Kremlings.[6] Kritter and another Kremling grab Cranky Kong, who then elbows Kritter and hits the latter with his cane.[7]

Donkey Kong Land[edit]

Kritters are enemies in Donkey Kong Land. They act like the green type from Donkey Kong Country.

Kritters appear in the following levels:

Donkey Kong Country television show[edit]

Kritters are antagonists in the Donkey Kong Country television series. They are voiced by Lawrence Bayne. Kritters have their design from Donkey Kong Country, but their eyes are not connected and their tails are shorter. Many Kritters carry Klap-Blasters, which shoot miniature Klaptraps. Green Kroc, a minion of Kaptain Skurvy, is a Kritter.

Diddy Kong Racing / Diddy Kong Racing DS[edit]

A Kritter named Krunch appears in Diddy Kong Racing as the game's heavyweight racer, being the first time any Kritter is playable. A regular Kritter appears in the intro of the remake, spying on the Kongs with Krunch.

Donkey Kong 64[edit]

Artwork of Kritter for Donkey Kong 64
Artwork from Donkey Kong 64

Kritters are enemies in Donkey Kong 64. They are encountered at Crocodile Isle, all worlds barring Fungi Forest and Creepy Castle, most Battle Arenas except for Jungle Japes's and Creepy Castle's, the minigames Kremling Kosh!, Mad Maze Maul!, Stash Snatch!, and Busy Barrel Barrage!. There is a red variety encountered in Frantic Factory, where they belch in a certain order for Lanky to memorize and replicate for a Golden Bananas, and the minigame Kremling Kosh!, worth two points instead of one like the regular type.

Kritters are in the boxing arena but cannot be fought. They wear tuxedos. Two are announcers and ring the bell to start the match between the Kongs and K. Rool. Some Kritters latter try to remove a light fixture stuck to K. Rool. In each countdown, Kritters always ring the bell when it counts up to 8, by pressing a red button on either side of the bell. Both Kritters slam a button at the same time, breaking it accidentally, after Tiny's round concludes.

Mario Power Tennis[edit]

Kritters are a species in Mario Power Tennis. They appear in green, blue, and red varieties, using their design from Donkey Kong 64, but with visible teeth. They are spectators in DK Jungle Court.

DK series[edit]

DK: King of Swing[edit]

Kremlings are enemies and an unlockable playable character of Jungle Jam mode in DK: King of Swing. They are encountered in Contraption Cave, Puzzling Pyramid, Treacherous Twister, Kremling Kamp, Ice Castle, and K. Kruizer III Hull/ Kremlings move around pegs, throwing any nearby rocks or bombs. A Kremling can be unlocked by obtaining six gold medals. Kremling has balanced stats, shared with Donkey Kong's.

DK: Jungle Climber[edit]

Kremlings are enemies in DK: Jungle Climber. They are similar as in DK: King of Swing.

Kritters appear in the following levels:

Mario Strikers series[edit]

An armored Kritter seen in Mario Strikers Charged.

Kritters are goalies in Super Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged. They were replaced by Boom Booms in Mario Strikers: Battle League. Kritters wear a goalie outfit to reflect this. Kritters are unaffected by attacks except the strongest type, and they knock back player characters on contact. Kritters in Super Mario Strikers can deflect any Super Strikes that are not timed properly, and a Kritter with the ball can pass it; the game adds a robotic Kritter as the goalie of the Super Team. A Kritter is first seen in Mario Strikers Charged during the opening scene, blocking a Toad's Fire Meteor, consequently putting its hands on fire. As shown from the opening movie, Kritters are invulnerable to Skillshots, as well as all Super Abilities except Crystal Smash!, Fire Storm!, and Thunder Wham! (if it has the ball). Kritters in Mario Strikers Charged can kick away players if they either fail a Skillshot or kick too close to the goal. A Kritter can be controlled by the player to block Mega Strikes.

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast[edit]

A Kritter is a playable character in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast. Kritter's stats include balanced top speed, boost and agility, shared with his direct rival, Donkey Kong. Kritter's bongos are gray with a skull printed on the sides and spiked bands on the top and bottom. Kritter attacks other racers by swinging his tail around. If Kritter gets in 3rd or 2nd place after completing a cup, he sits and looks down, disappointed. If he places 1st, he sits down and laughs. Kritter can be seen in the Single Race cutscene along with Klump, Kalypso and Kass, standing in front of their respective rivals, Donkey Kong, Lanky Kong, Tiny Kong and Dixie Kong. In the Jungle Grand Prix cutscene, Kritter is seen catching up to Donkey Kong during a race, before both of them get surprised when Diddy Kong passes them.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Kritters are only represented as trophies and two stickers in the former game. The first sticker, featuring artwork from DK: King of Swing, boosts launch resistance by 13, while the second sticker, featuring artwork from Mario Strikers Charged, boosts the power of direct special moves by 28. Both stickers can be used by any character.

Green and blue Kritters appear as enemies in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Green ones bite three times in a row, while blue ones spin around furiously with their claws.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Kritter from Donkey Kong Barrel Blast appears as a Novice-class Grab-type primary spirit with one support slot. When used on a fighter, the spirit boosts only their power without granting any special effect. In World of Light, the spirit is found on the DK Island sub-map of the Light Realm, occupying the spot where Ropey Rampage is located in Donkey Kong Country. The spirit's puppet fighter is King K. Rool, fought on the Kongo Jungle stage.

Mario Super Sluggers[edit]

Kritters are playable characters in Mario Super Sluggers. Green Kritter is the default color, with blue, red, and brown varieties appearing as alternate colors. All four Kritter colors are Power characters with batting and fielding at above average and running below average. The blue Kritter has a weaker batting stat to improve its pitching, and vice versa for red Kritter. The brown Kritter is the fastest of the four Kritter colors, but like the red Kritter, its pitching is weaker than the default green Kritter's. Every Kritter bats with their left hand and fields with their right hand. The sweetspot is the spike on the center of the mace. Their signature ability, Keeper Catch, grants them more reach while fielding. When they bat, they use a short, but broad spiked mace. They have good chemistry with King K. Rool, but incompatible chemistry with any of the Kongs, even though they are members of the DK Wilds.

The Kritters, Wario, and Waluigi are tied with having the lowest amount of good chemistry in Mario Super Sluggers, with them having good chemistry with only Miis of their color and one other character (with that character in their case being King K. Rool).

Unused appearances[edit]

Diddy Kong Pilot[edit]

Krunch model from the cancelled Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)

Two different canceled games named Diddy Kong Pilot, one from 2001 and one from 2003, would have included a Kritter with a leather jacket as a playable character. Although this character is simply called "Kritter" in the 2003 build, the model bears a strong resemblance to Krunch from Diddy Kong Racing; in the 2001 build, the internal name for the character when highlighted on the selection screen is Krunch's early name "Krash",[8] while the internal HUDMedia:DKP 2001 Hud.png uses the name "Krunch". Kritter has a Southern American English accent in the 2003 iteration. When it became Banjo-Pilot, Kritter was replaced with Jolly Roger, with the two characters sharing similar stats.

General information[edit]

Physical appearance[edit]

Kritters are most commonly colored green while still having several color varieties. Kritters originally had gold shoulder pads, knee pads and a bluish-green skin tone, though various other color variations appeared too, such as purple and burgundy. In Donkey Kong 64, they have a bright green skin tone and are slightly less muscular. Kritters wear a sleeveless leather jacket with a skull-and-crossbones on the back (similar to Krunch from Diddy Kong Racing) and a belt with a skull-and-crossbones buckle. This appearance is reused in Mario Power Tennis and is similar to their Super Mario Strikers appearance.

Starting with DK: King of Swing, Kritters received another redesign. They are significantly more muscular, especially in their chest and arms, and have a rounder snout and head. Their redesign also includes tattered tan pants and spiked wristbands. They still retain their skull belt from Donkey Kong 64.

  • Instruction booklet description:
    • English:
      This run-of-the-mill green Kremling is the most common type.[9]
  • Nintendo Player's Guide: Kritters come in several colors, but other than that, they basically look the same. You can take them out easily by jumping on their heads or rolling through them and bowling them over. Depending upon their color, they have different jumping abilities and patterns of movement. That's what makes them a little unpredictable. Another member of Kritter family, Krash, is the type that likes to hide out in mine carts.[10]
  • GBA Nintendo Player's Guide: Kritters are the weakest of King K. Rool's Krocs-one jump on the head from Donkey or Diddy will do them in. Kritters come in a few different colors which relate to how the Kritters move and jump. Green Kritters, for example, walk in a straight line and don't jump, but blue Kritters hop along the ground in a straight line. Krashes are Kritters that hide out in mine carts and try to run Donkey and Diddy off the tracks in the mines.[11]

Originally, Kritter's trophy stated that its other appearance is Donkey Kong 64, but this was removed from Western releases.

Kritter's goalie trophy says that they are the only goalies in Super Mario Strikers. This is not true, as the Super Team uses a Robo-Kritter as their goalie in that game. In Mario Strikers Charged, however, they are the only available goalkeepers.

Kritters are King K. Rool's minions from the Donkey Kong series, and they come in both green and blue varieties. Green ones will try to bite you repeatedly, and their last bite hurts the most! Blue ones will swipe at you with their sharp claws. Neither really knocks you back, so it's easy to get hit several times by them. (American English)
These enemies are part of King K. Rool's Kremling gang in the Donkey Kong series. The green ones attack with their strong jaws, while the blue use their sharp claws in spinning attacks for powerful slashing. They don't have a lot of launching power, but their relentless assaults can easily wear you down. (British English)
